If you're new to my channel, welcome, happy to have you here. Please read here before commenting! 1. If you're in the comments to complain about the audio quality, I apologise to your ears! (Volume cannot be changed once a video is uploaded). This video is from three years ago, and since then I've worked on my video editing skills. Hope you derive value and focus on what matters. 2. Yes, you can negotiate as a fresh graduate. Give reasons why you’re worth more. Tie up how your internship or skills learnt at university are relevant to the job. If I can do it, as a 21 year old in India, when the dot com bubble burst, with no internship, so can you! 3. Don’t bother telling me this isn’t possible in your country (including India!) or industry. I won’t reply or read. I have negotiated multiple times in India, South America and Europe. I have received literally thousands of messages and comments from folks around the world (including India) on how this video helped them negotiate anything from 10% up to 300% of their last earned salary. Don’t waste your energy on “why it won’t”, and focus on “how to.” 4. I share my best career tips on email! Sign up for all things job search and careers: www.superchargeyourself.com/newsletter 5.

is it possible to lose job in negotiations. You have cleared all your rounds and have appeared for negotiation. Now it's a pressure on HR to close this negotiation as soon as possible. What is your thought on this.
Anything is possible, which is why I gave tips including non verbal communication and politeness. I personally, in all my years of recruiting haven’t seen an offer rescinded because the candidate tried to negotiate. Like I said: anything is possible and one needs to weigh the pros and cons.
I received a salary offer yesterday morning and the offer came as very matter of fact from a university, with the idea that was it: take it or leave it. I had watched your video and remember your acronym for fear. I have already retired once and was afraid that because of my age, I needed to accept the initial offer. However, I very politely thanked them for the offer and expressed my concern about the number and presented my case where the market average was higher. That same day they returned with an offer that was 10% more. You did that for me and I appreciate you so much.
I just want to say I took your advice and asked for a ridiculous amount in my salary negotiation and they increased my total comp by nearly 50K!!!! 10k increase in base, 10k sign on, and another 25k in equity! I just couldn’t believe it! Thank you so much!
Oooh this is soo cool, congrats Lailaa!! Please connect with me on LinkedIn, I’d love to learn how you did this, and break it down, so it helps others too. I’m so excited for you!
Sonal, these tips are excellent and really worked. I was offered the upper range of their salary and I increased them by 15k above the upper range. They said they could bring up my base salary by 5k and give me 2k sign on bonus. I told them i really know my worth and the lowest i could take was 10k above original offer. they went back and discussed it, and finally I ended up getting 10k more as I requested. Thank you so much, this advice really works!
I followed your tips and was able to get a GBP 1,000 increase in my base. Thank you so much. This is the first time I’ve ever negotiated a salary and highly regret not watching these tips earlier. 😊 Thanks a ton, Sonal.
TH-cam suggestions brought me here and I think this was a perfect combination of everything - positivity, optimism, confidence. Thanks a lot for making this!
Generally doesn’t work in Bangalore. It’s almost always take it or leave it. Only time wherein the companies revise your offer is when you show them the other offer you have already.
Hi, I just wanted to say that I really appreciated your video. No manipulation, no one-track scenario, just good all around tips. Thank you very much :)
Hi Sonal, thank you so much for your tips and examples. I went through 3 tough interviews and I was able to apply your tips during the salary negotiation. I basically mentioned my desired salary is $xx (5k higher than their range), they were pretty firm about their range, so I said "I understand this has to work for you as well, on that basis, the lowest I could accept is $xx (their highest point). I ended up getting the offer with the highest point of that range. I am very happy and grateful, originally I was desperate and willing to go for their lowest budget... !! THANK YOU !!
Thank you so much! I literally just used your recommendations as a guideline for my salary negotiation and was able to get more that 20% on the top of the first offer and completely different conditions for my contact. I am a single mother and an immigrant, and although I am highly skilled and qualified, the job market is still very stressful for me. I am so happy and proud of myself and grateful for your help! Thank you
@@SuperChargeYourself thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! I couldn’t believe when they comes back to me with the totally different figures. It is working! 😂
I recently had a salary negotiation round and I watched your video on how to negotiate. In my previous interviews I haven't even thought about negotiating the salaries and I always settled for low. But this time I was very clear and after watching your video I prepared a good script and managed my negotiation round so well. I ended up with double joining bonus what they were offering me in the first round so a big thanks to you. Keep up the good work 👍
This was the most helpful negotiation video I’ve ever come across. Im in the negotiation stage now and will circle back with results. Thanks so much for this I have a ton of confidence now.
Thank you so much for your advice. I gained the confidence needed to negotiate my salary after a job offer, although I didn’t accept the job because they didn’t accept my offer. I do feel great because I ASKED. sometimes there will be losses and you have to be grateful. The job just wasn’t for you. The employer wanted to pay me below the average market salary it was very sad.
All these many years, I have been looking for these wonderful tips and finally I got. Thanks a ton for this kind of video. Keeping motivating & guiding us.
Thanks for watching and glad it helped you! What was the % increase you were able to negotiate? It’s love to learn more, please dm me on LinkedIn if ok with you.
i just finished watching this video and this is the first video I see where a woman is talking on the subject of salary negotiation, which I appreciate because sometimes we need to hear it from each other that women are allowed to ask for what we deserve and not let FEAR get in the way. i just want to say thank you for making this video I feel so much more informed and confident in negotiating salary.
I got an offer during recession / financial crash in 2009... But due to fear I ended up with 20% lesser salary than I expected and asked for... Thank you so much for this video, I won't repeat my mistake after watching this...
I did most of the things mentioned in the video in 2016 at an interview with a publishing giant where I was made to wait for over 2 hours after grueling hours of 4 successive interviews from team manager to CEO (all in the same day). When it came to salary negotiation, I was told to give in to whatever they were offering since it was a "brand" and would go a long way on my CV. While I agreed to that, I just could not do with zero increment on my previous salary despite the organization's name. I was told I'd be contacted but there was no communication from their end. I called a day later and was told that someone else was hired for lesser salary than I was being offered. That was a lone experience, but stands out to the day.
Im sorry this happened. Same thing happened to me 4 times (FOUR!!) where after the verbal offer and immediately after I start the negotiation process they decided to give the offer to someone who decided not to negotiate. I understand how traumatizing this can be.. I'm a woman in tech and this makes me so traumatized to negotiate ever again. I even brought up how women are often times not paid competitive to their male counterparts in tech and that I'd like to get paid competitively, then had my offer rescinded right away.
@@user-j5ja95 never do that again ,talk about fairness .Don’t bring market research and start comparing bc they will ditch you. Talk about how you deserve that high pay what they get instead . I always get what I ask bc I don’t ask based on inflation or market research . I ask bc it’s worth it for them to give me , I bring the results on the table .
OP, look back on that as a good thing because what you just described is referred to as the "Imagine the exposure!" element. Highly visible companies will try to use this to keep their salary low when offered. They offer you this pittance, but they play up the "Think of the exposure!" element, and they do that with purpose. Just remember that exposure doesn't pay your bills...money does. Working for a "brand" can certainly have benefits down the road, but you don't want to look down the road...you want to be in the here and now. They offered the role to someone who fell for the "exposure" trick, so consider yourself lucky. This is how they con people into unpaid internships too. The "exposure" principle. "Influencers" try this trick ALL THE TIME when they solicit brands and companies for free things and then tell them, "Think of the exposure! I have 100K followers on this and 75K on that!" much in the same way that these employers tell us. You dodged a bullet. Never tell yourself anything different. You lost out on nothing.
This really helped..For me it was not Last day of the week but last interview..I looked down and thought for a moment as you said, they were all looking at me.First they refused, the second try was successful. I told them I need the amount to manage my conveyance (which was true..try not to lie because if they find out in any way about the truth you can lose the Job) . I was polite the whole time and asked them in a requesting way.
That's beautifully articulated. Specially being Polite and to remember everything is Negotiable. It feels serendipity to have landed in your channel. Thank you for taking out time and explaining things in a beautiful way.
After watching this video, my salary discussion went absolutely the way you said and They offered me 75k sign on bonus and the package I was expecting. Wow it literally worked. Thank you very much Mam
Your tips are so practical and implementable that today I was able to negotiate my offer (which was already accepted by me) and converted my variable pay into fixed pay there by increasing my take home component. All this was possible after watching your video and as you said "Everything is Negotiable in this world" !
Thank you very much mam. I have successfully cleared 4 rounds of interview and got the job. Most importantly I was able to negotiate my offer well and your videos certainly helped me. Thanks once again :)
Girl I cannot explain how helpful your video has been. I have a job interview tomorrow that I happened to be offered and I’m doing as much research as I can to shine in my interview. I just wanted to say THANK YOU and that I will follow your tips. Hopefully I get that dream bump salary that I deserve right now.
Just wanted Thank you for this content. Finalized my offer letter after negotiation using this info today. I just realized a very powerful thing today - if you don't ask, you wont get :) I asked a figure, company offered 15% lesser, I was respectful and calm and politely declined the offer and told that I accept the mid point of the range I have quoted :) Company came back within a day with a new offer.
Thank you so much for the great tips you shared. I used them exactly as directed by you and bagged an offer of my desired salary. You surely are a rockstar.
I came in with a lot of prejudice before starting the video and half way into it I realized that this is some crucial information. I have been a professional for a while but I have never been able to understand how to navigate the negotiations but this video provides a deeper technical aspect to the understanding that is required before going into salary negotiations. A must watch for anyone approaching a new opportunity. Thank you Sonal
I'll openly admit, I don't have so much experience to say all this is necessarily true. But what I definitely can say is that this video puts you into a right mindset to approach a business situation. And that in itself is very useful and can only be viewed positively by any interviewer
Thanks for this video Sonal. I have been out in the job market after 9 years in the same company I had joined as a fresher. I saw this video after I accepted my first offer. It's almost 3 times my current salary and I was overwhelmed at first. Then I realised just how less I was actually making. Currently in negotiations with a second company, followed your tips throughout the process. They have effectively removed the personal component from the process, by making candidates create a profile on their portal and giving offer letters through that portal itself. My only contact is the 3rd party recruiter who was hired by the company to find a candidate. Still holding hope, since I am employing your tips of acting as if he is on my team.
To give you an idea of how much you’ve just helped me: I’m only 22 years old and I’ve just been offered the dream job I’ve wanted for 5 YEARS! They’ve expressed high interest in me and aren’t even making me interview for it, but now I’m at a point of trying to leverage the confidence they have in me to get a salary I deserve. I’ve NEVER done this before and I’m so so grateful for these tips. I realized after you said it that I don’t even have to negotiate for salary alone! I can ask for more vacation days, a bonus, etc. I feel ready to go into that negotiation! If I could thank you in person I would 🙏 thank you!
I had viewed this video previously but it came to use recently when i got a job offer. I used a lot of the techniques. It didnt change the course much as they mentioned they are giving the best they can already and put a final word on it. Yet i was amazed at the power that came with this video viewing. I asked for things that i wud have never imagined and got the confidence to push. The conversations helped me understand a lot about the company which wouldnt be known in a regular interview. Hence, i also recommend using these - sometimes the benefits could be quantitative sometimes qualitative
This content is a gem. I'm pretty sure that this is going to help millions of job seekers out there. Thanks a bunch for coming up with this video in a more curated manner :) Looking up to you for more such helpful videos !
Hi, I just want to thank you for giving me the encouragement to negotiate for a higher salary. I was scared to ask, but I did it and it worked. Plus, my employer told me that my negotiation was good and appreciated because it showed my skills for the job!
I enjoy the part you talked about mindset and imagining the interviewer is on the same team. It really goes into the root of the problem and decide my actions. Thank you very much for your video.
I have only had one company rescind a job offer, and it was after a month of back and fourth regarding intellectual property rights. HR team wanted to allow me to amend my contract to identify previous inventions as my ip, while the contract stated that everything I had worked on prior and during employment is their intellectual property. I even knew the CEO as I was in a joint discord group with him, and we'd speak often. When it got sent to their lawyer, they took personal offense and refused to make any changes, which forced them to rescind the offer. In hindsight, this even being a problem was kind of insane, likely very uncommon situation.
I am not sure ,how TH-cam suggested me to watch this video without me even searching for this content in youtube. But I was looking for some content like this currently since I have two offers with me. The content of the video is just wow💯💯💯 Coming to the way you have explained,I just love it. Your accent , the content of the video, really matches with the real life thing and yeah , thanks much for a wonderful content :). I am confident enough now on my negotiation. Will surely comment/ let u know if my negotiation becomes successful. 😊
Hi Bro.....its simple.....chances are that you would have shared your resume few weeks back using your gmail id......if it is so, Google guys are very smart......such vides will be suggested assuming that by now you would stand the offer..... This is my experience as well.. This video got suggested today and this is one of the best videos I have watched related to this subject.....Keep up the good work Sonalji......
i told the company from where i got the offer letter and with respect to expenses at the location ,the salary was bit lower .upon asking they simply said no and said it can;t be changed and revoked the offer.
Last week when I interviewed for this company through a consultancy the salary I was offered was less than what I was making at my previous job. And when I couldn't agree and asked for a salary that I should be getting, I was told I have high expectations and I wasn't considered for the job. I have another interview tomorrow and watching this video has boosted my confidence. Hope things go well ♥
The one that pulled the offer were the one punching above their weight and wanted you to buckle down...so cheapskate HR personnel probably (no generalization)
There's nothing wrong with "high expectations" unless you can't justify those high expectations. Saying that you "deserve" more and then you're unable to justify WHY is a death knell. When I have been told that I have high expectations, I always hit them back with, "Which is line with the high expectations that you have for me and other candidates, so we seem to be on an even keel at that point, yes?" The gobsmacked look on their faces was worth every moment. Only bear high expectations if you can justify them. If you simply say that you deserve it, that's not going to get you very far and is almost certainly going to see your resume get binned right after you walk out of the interview.
Wow, I nearly fell off my chair... Your voice has such a low volume in this video that I turned up my headphone. Then your intro music came - BAM! Much too loud! Please consider adjusting the volume for upcoming videos.
I have to say that here in Slovenia, a lot of times it is perceived that you are too focused on money or they remove offer if you try to negotiate. It depends a lot on country I would say. But still it is possible and the more we will do it, the more it will become a standard.
Thanks for sharing! Indeed, there’s a lot that depends on cultural differences… Having said that, a lot depends on ‘how’ one negotiates more than ‘what’ one talks about during that time.
Thank you so much - I was in a dilemma. Lo and Behold - I found this video. Bless you for keeping it short, simple and pleasant to follow. The Acronyms alone are to die for. Please share more of your wisdom like this - we, the common folk need it!!
Sameer: thank you so much for your feedback, I’m glad it was helpful! I post daily on LinkedIn, and I even go live weekly. Follow me there, I’m sure the content will help you.
@@SuperChargeYourself I am subscriber number 510 here - just now clicked. I wish you more and more, till you say "No more". Dang, I just made it rhyme :-). Thank you for the LinkedIn headsup - will keep up to date on your posts.
Thanks so much for your video! It helped me so much. The employer I was interviewing with was doing the negotiation with me via email and I was hesitant that it would affect my results. But using your tips, I was able to secure the job and get a 22% increase in my salary, most of the increase was from negotiations.
Very informative and a must watch video for those who works really hard with honesty but then ended up settling for less :-( I’ll admit that I am also on of them. Thank you Sonal for being so thoughtful in sharing the contents!!!!
I just had my 8th round with a MD. He asked me what is the my expectations and told him I saw this salary range on Glassdoor for the same position for the same company. He became furious saying this is way above the expectations and that data is all wrong since all data is kept confidential. He became more rude even when I said that we can further discuss on this and I am willing to negotiate. But he said it's difficult, that they will call me back. This was all very heartbreaking as this was the 8 round and I was not prepared for salary negotiations at this point, as I was under the impression that would be the last step with the HR. And before this all my 7 rounds were spot on. 💔
That’s unfortunate Swapnil, I’m sorry you had to go through this. Perhaps it could be a blessing in disguise. That reaction does seem quite extreme. Makes one question if it’s worth workihn there, if you’ve already got a taste of the workplace culture. At this stage it’s when companies are at their best. Wish you luck.
Its very pathetic, and 8th round?!!! Any interview hardly goes over 4th round. I think the company is not serious about hiring any candidate. Dont lose your hope you will surely get a deserving CTC in other company who values candidates.
Thanks a lot Sonal! You are amazing and you are the best! I learned a lot from your videos and it helped me with a big hike. Even though I had to tell a number from my end as HR was not giving a number or range after I tried every which way. But I shared lot of justification using your tips and then a number and a week later got an offer 50% more than I expected :)
Today I have a meeting scheduled for this thing. I was searching for something that could help me with this and found a gem of a video. Thanks for amazing content
I tried your suggestion and stuck to the basic hike I would need from the HR. HR called me and said they cannot increase further (well, I had asked for a fair hike), and said they will look for another candidate. So now you have one case where HR took back the offer.This was with Standard Chartered bank, Bangalore. I liked the video and it makes sense!
Any tips for an engineering internship position? My leverage would be I have more experience than the average student by their 3rd year. They’re tried to ask me what I expect twice already before the interview, and I deferred it each time saying my primary focus is on the job, interview, and learning more about the team/role. So I anticipate a negotiation process where they will ask again but now in a face to face zoom setting instead of through email. Great video thank you
Hey there! The tips and strategies work across industries and functions. Good you’re thinking about what sets you apart from the others. Watch the video on answering the question on salary expectations. Good luck!
This video is perfection. Thank you for breaking down such a touchy portion of the hiring process so transparently and elegantly. By far the most valuable video and advice I have received.
Joelle hi, so glad you found the video useful! The idea is precisely to dispel long held myths and help those who need it. Thank you for taking the time to comment here!
No words , without this video not possible to increase CTC . After 1 week wait they offered expected ammount . And before watching this video I fear to negotiate. Thank you and God bless you.
Thank you so much Sonal for the tips. I always had the fear factor in me and that's the reason I never negotiated even when I felt like doing so. But this video gave me the courage and sense of approval that I actually needed to start negotiating on things that really could not get along with me in my company. Thanks again , I just loved it !
Thank you! I watched this video then applied the techniques for my current job offer. Totally fighting the feeling that I’ve shot myself in the foot, negotiations feel so uncomfortable, staring fear in the face
Thank you sooooo much for this video. It was very detailed and straight to the point. You instilled so much confidence in me. I got a verbal offer and saw this afterwards. The timing of me finding this was timing. I followed you strategy as laid out in the role play and prepared my value statement. I used the MAN to determine my ask. And to my surprise, the negotiation went so smooth and I got the exact addition that I asked for. Thank you soo much. Really grateful and appreciative of this your video. May God reward you abundantly!!! This was my first time negotiating and I won't hesitate to do so again in the future.
I once tried to negotiate, I was shouted at by the HR. She literally went top of her lungs. I wanted to leave the current organization so I went with the flow.
Before any interview, I negotiate with God and he gave me much more than i desire / deserve ; Philosophy apart , the video gives wonderful tips for candidates; I like the way it is presented with charming face ;
When I tried to negotiate with my HR, he flatly told they're offering x ctc and if I dont agree then to drop this candidature...! Why does this happen and how do you negotiate in this scenario when they're direct and clear
it's either because a) the culture is top-down and one does what one is told b) they genuinely don't have the budget No right answer: you should do what feels right.
Aisa hi hota hai niharika, ye madam to pata nahi koi ceo post ke negotiation ke fande de rahi hai, baki to india me bahut bheed padi hai candidates ki, sab jagah bulk hiring chlti hai, aao to welcome jaao to bheed kam wala scene hai, companies ko konsa apne ko nasa ka rocket banwana hai jo apn nahi join karenge to company band ho jaayegi
Agree with @SuperCharge What is the industry and the job role you are trying for? If you are in the industry for more than 3 years and still facing this, I would suggest: 1) It's okay to look at other industries or job roles 2) If you don't change the game today, you'll have the same problem 5 years later, only it would feel 10x harder to change than it is today
Thank you so much for your tips. I was able to successfully negotiate my salary towards my MAN and also get a joining bonus. As you said, it was a bit theatrical. The recruiter asked for additional time to consult with the management, and I managed to close the deal on a Thursday :)
This video is gem❤ In a recent negotiation, I faced a recruiter who seemed very determined on getting me onboarded for a package which was 5K Euros less than my MAN (Minimum Acceptance Number) in Germany. At first, she did not seem to be in the same team because I heard "Sorry, this is not possible" and other upfront decline to my polite attempt to negotiate at least 10 times, which was a little frustrating. But after the final negotiations, the Hiring Manager surprised me by adding a couple thousand euros to the annual compensation package that was agreed upon. It is tough to negotiate with some recruiters, but as you said, sticking to your ground makes every tough conversation worth it.
Yes, always be polite. Even if you don't accept the offer, you may deal with the person again down the road. I've had recruiters call me a few months later for other, higher compensated positions. The biggest thing to remember about salary is that is what will be your base for years to come, unless things change (education or experience, for example). Lets say that you accept an offer for $50k/year. If we assume a 5% per year pay raise, Starting year 4 you will be at $57,881/year. But if you push for 10% more up front, or $55k/year then starting year 4 you will be at $63,669/year. In year 4 you decide to get a new job. Your base salary expectation (current plus 10%) would be $70k/year (if you start the first job at $55k/year) or $63.7k/year (if you started first job at $50k/year). I find it baffling how many people don't negotiate pay, whether it's your initial offer or an offered pay raise. Even getting 5% more at start is like getting a pay raise, before you start working. They don't realize that pay raises are an offer that you either accept or don't accept. Pay raises are compounded interest. Every dollar more now means many more dollars down the road. Always counter offer pay raises! You will either get an amount more acceptable to you or know its time to look for a new job. Remember that you are THE salesperson for you. You, your skills, and experience are on the market. Fight for what you are worth! While it's true that other compensation can help "bridge the gap", they never fully replace salary because you salary increases with compounded interest. Sure a $2000 sign on bonus and $3000 moving allowance "bridges the gap" between a $50k/year and $55k/year salary, starting year 2 and onwards you will be behind. Plus a moving allowence isn't compensation. If a company offers to pay your share of medical insurance, I would count that as salary, assuming that it's for as long as you work for the company and the policy doesn't increase and the deductible doesn't go up. If your share would be $250/month that equates to $3,000/year. Plus you might not pay income taxes on that amount. It's likely that your share would go up by 10% or more a year. This us probably better than your salary pay raise. If the company has matching 401k, then a bigger salary means a higher match. If the company matches 5%, at $50k/year that is $2500 vs $2750 with $55k/year. I've seen companies offer different tiers on their 401k programs. This could be a higher match at higher salary tiers or less vesting time at higher salary tiers. What salary you accept has a huge impact on you compensation many years down the road. I've even heard of people being promoted because their salary increased above the maximum allowed for their job title. One person told me that their annual salary increase that they negotiated caused such a promotion. Their new job title's minimum pay was about $2k/year more than they negotiated their pay raise at. In effect they got a double pay raise. As a real life example. I had several years of medical issues that prevented me from working. When I was able to work I found myself in a horrible situation. I was not in my field for over 3 years, which meant that I couldn't get hired for a job equivalent to my 15+ years of experience. Nor could I get a job in a starter position because I was "over-qualified". No one would hire me in my field using one or both reasons. I even had responses of "over-qualified" for a mid-range position and "out of the market too long". My wife convinced me to work in her field. At least my years of supervisory experience allowed me to start as a supervisor. I quickly received promotions, finally getting a location manager position, the same level as my wife. When my wife was hired by the company as a location manager she accepted their offer and always accepted the pay raise offers. I fought for a higher starting salary and my pay raises. After 5 years my salary exceeded hers even though she had over 12 years more experience than I did and her location had significantly more sales. That's how important your initial salary and pay raises are.
======================== part 3 ========================= I had a period of time where I explained to my new job that my job was to make the company more profitable ( or excel at supporting my customers if I had an inside support role. I defined my customers as the employees of the company. In other words, making the other employees more profitable.) In exchange I expected frequent pay raises. 6 months after being hired I would request a reasonable pay raise, usually in the 5-10% range. Some companies gave me the pay raise, others didn't. If I didn't get my pay raise I would look for new employment with a pay raise of over 10%. For one company, when I requested my 6 month pay raise, they gave the standard "we do annual pay raises". A couple of weeks later, after I gave my 2 week notice a senior manager drove 150 miles to take me to lunch. They wanted to know why I was leaving and if the company was not treating me well. I said "The company is great. You treat me well. This issue is salary compensation. I asked for a pay raise and was denied. Another company offered me a job with an 18% raise." The next day the manager drove down and offered me a 23% pay raise and a large moving allowance as they wanted me to move 150 miles to work directly for that field office. Plus I got 4 weeks of paid leave in order to have time to pack up, move and find a new house. What was amazing was that my original offer that I negotiated had a $3500 moving allowance that specifically said a maximum of 1 moving allowance every 2 years. Yet 7 months later I was given $5000 to move, plus up to 1 week hotel while looking for a house to rent. If you are a valuable employee, then demand a reasonable compensation
I saw this video a week ago and then went for an interview. Followed your tips, demanded the salary I thought I deserve (highest ofcourse) and got the job. THANK YOU for boosting my confidence.
I once asked a panel speaker at a talk (who was also the CEO of a company) when is the appropriate time to negotiate salary in the recruitment process and he responded saying any candidate that brings it up is a turn-off for him! Should have known that is far from that truth and just speaks volumes of how he runs his organization. Thank you so much for your wise words in the video ma'am :)
Hello Ma'am, Just wanted to convey my gratitude to you that because of this video I was able to increase my CTC 40% more than I was getting. Thanks you 😊
Hi, Thanks for sharing the tips. I have few questions: 1) If I got one job offer and I resigned from my current company. While serving notice period, I am getting calls for job opportunities in other companies. a)HR asks if I have any offer, in that case should I mention yes? b) If HR further asks about company name and CTC for the offer then is it fine to reveal those details or how to avoid it? 2) Generally for job opportunities before scheduling interview, HR calls to get details about my experience, notice period, current and expected CTC. Should I reveal my current CTC before interview and mention expected CTC based on market value? Thanks
Very helpful tips mam. Its all mind game and self confidence. I just accepted an offer 1 month ago. It is my first job change after 7 years and my confidence was little low. However I got a 70% hike when I was expecting 50%. I tried negotiating to 100% but could not pressure my demand fearing to loose this offer 😝
Thanks for the question. I’m afraid I’m getting a lot of questions and due to lack of time can’t answer all of them individually. You have two options: either ask me during me weekly live on LinkedIn and TH-cam (every Friday at 6:30 pm India) .. or join the supercharge club. Details are on my website. All the best
Thank you so much for your tips. I used them in my interview. Not only did I get a higher salary, I also got a sign-on bonus! It was my first time to ever negotiate a salary. Your advice got me what I wanted & it’s been a month in my new role ☺️☺️☺️
For quite some time TH-cam is suggesting this video to me. Don't know how it knows that I am planning to switch. I just loved the way you explained. I never thought negotiating specially on salary is good but the way you explained, I can say just wow. I have been in this industry for 19 years and changed my job once around 17 years ago. Thinking of changing now. The tips are really useful. I just want to say everyone would love to have the communication skill like you. People will definitely like listening you.
Excellent video. Well crafted with so many valuable points. Only thing I would add: If you are in the United States, ~40 states have passed state laws making it illegal for prospective employers to ask about your salary history during the interview process. The very goal was to promote equal pay among the workforce for the same or comparable jobs. If your state has passed such law making it illegal, you absolutely have the right to refuse to disclose your current salary. Otherwise, your prospective employer will simply give you a structure or multiplier based off your current salary, and then it will become 100x more difficult to negotiate. (ie. if you make 50K, they will give a firm number of 60K, and justify that you are making 20% more)
You are one of the most underrated career TH-camrs here. You are a hidden gem. I am taking notes from this video because tomorrow will be my job offer and I want to get as high a salary as possible since I know I'm worth every dollar. More power to your channel.
Hi Sonal! I just had my job offer and I tried your tips! It is my first time actually! And got my previous salary almost doubled! Thank you!!! More power to you!!!
If you're new to my channel, welcome, happy to have you here.
Please read here before commenting!
1. If you're in the comments to complain about the audio quality, I apologise to your ears! (Volume cannot be changed once a video is uploaded). This video is from three years ago, and since then I've worked on my video editing skills.
Hope you derive value and focus on what matters.
2. Yes, you can negotiate as a fresh graduate. Give reasons why you’re worth more. Tie up how your internship or skills learnt at university are relevant to the job.
If I can do it, as a 21 year old in India, when the dot com bubble burst, with no internship, so can you!
3. Don’t bother telling me this isn’t possible in your country (including India!) or industry. I won’t reply or read. I have negotiated multiple times in India, South America and Europe.
I have received literally thousands of messages and comments from folks around the world (including India) on how this video helped them negotiate anything from 10% up to 300% of their last earned salary. Don’t waste your energy on “why it won’t”, and focus on “how to.”

Great
@SuperCharge Mam!!!
Is there any video reference for cultural interview??? Like any sample questions how to handle like that
is it possible to lose job in negotiations. You have cleared all your rounds and have appeared for negotiation. Now it's a pressure on HR to close this negotiation as soon as possible. What is your thought on this.
Anything is possible, which is why I gave tips including non verbal communication and politeness. I personally, in all my years of recruiting haven’t seen an offer rescinded because the candidate tried to negotiate.
Like I said: anything is possible and one needs to weigh the pros and cons.
very nice mam!
It is very helpful Video..
I received a salary offer yesterday morning and the offer came as very matter of fact from a university, with the idea that was it: take it or leave it. I had watched your video and remember your acronym for fear. I have already retired once and was afraid that because of my age, I needed to accept the initial offer. However, I very politely thanked them for the offer and expressed my concern about the number and presented my case where the market average was higher. That same day they returned with an offer that was 10% more. You did that for me and I appreciate you so much.
This makes my heart sing! Congrats to you!!
I just want to say I took your advice and asked for a ridiculous amount in my salary negotiation and they increased my total comp by nearly 50K!!!! 10k increase in base, 10k sign on, and another 25k in equity! I just couldn’t believe it! Thank you so much!
Oooh this is soo cool, congrats Lailaa!! Please connect with me on LinkedIn, I’d love to learn how you did this, and break it down, so it helps others too. I’m so excited for you!
@@SuperChargeYourself would love to know if this was truth…you are an amazing thinker!
Too good to be true
@@heartshome9056 dont think so
Are you mad
Sonal, these tips are excellent and really worked. I was offered the upper range of their salary and I increased them by 15k above the upper range. They said they could bring up my base salary by 5k and give me 2k sign on bonus. I told them i really know my worth and the lowest i could take was 10k above original offer. they went back and discussed it, and finally I ended up getting 10k more as I requested. Thank you so much, this advice really works!
Congratulations 🙌🏼 and so glad to be a small part of your success!
I followed your tips and was able to get a GBP 1,000 increase in my base. Thank you so much. This is the first time I’ve ever negotiated a salary and highly regret not watching these tips earlier. 😊 Thanks a ton, Sonal.
TH-cam suggestions brought me here and I think this was a perfect combination of everything - positivity, optimism, confidence. Thanks a lot for making this!
Happy you’re here 😊
Generally doesn’t work in Bangalore. It’s almost always take it or leave it. Only time wherein the companies revise your offer is when you show them the other offer you have already.
Hi, I just wanted to say that I really appreciated your video. No manipulation, no one-track scenario, just good all around tips. Thank you very much :)
thank you so much, glad you found the video useful Julian!
Hi Sonal, thank you so much for your tips and examples.
I went through 3 tough interviews and I was able to apply your tips during the salary negotiation. I basically mentioned my desired salary is $xx (5k higher than their range), they were pretty firm about their range, so I said "I understand this has to work for you as well, on that basis, the lowest I could accept is $xx (their highest point).
I ended up getting the offer with the highest point of that range.
I am very happy and grateful, originally I was desperate and willing to go for their lowest budget... !!
THANK YOU !!
That’s amazing, well done! Congratulations 🎉
It's how much percent increase for u on fixed
Thank you so much! I literally just used your recommendations as a guideline for my salary negotiation and was able to get more that 20% on the top of the first offer and completely different conditions for my contact. I am a single mother and an immigrant, and although I am highly skilled and qualified, the job market is still very stressful for me. I am so happy and proud of myself and grateful for your help! Thank you
This is so good, well done!!
@@SuperChargeYourself thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! I couldn’t believe when they comes back to me with the totally different figures. It is working! 😂
All HR’s are going to hate this video 🤣
They don’t pay salaries so they don’t care
I recently had a salary negotiation round and I watched your video on how to negotiate. In my previous interviews I haven't even thought about negotiating the salaries and I always settled for low. But this time I was very clear and after watching your video I prepared a good script and managed my negotiation round so well. I ended up with double joining bonus what they were offering me in the first round so a big thanks to you. Keep up the good work 👍
Congratulations 👏👏😊
Can you share
From bottom of my heart. Thank you. I have been terrible in salary negotiation. This is priceless.
Thanks for tips and I applied it and got 15% more from the initial offer of my base pay. Really a life changing. 😍💪👍💵
Congrats Vin, well done!!!
I'm going to be negotiating in 1 hour, wish me luck.
Update : i got the the job and a higher salary! Good luck!
Hey Mosa! How did it go?
How was it Mosa??
Legend has it that he’s still negotiating til this day. Sending good vibes.
Thanks mam..
Mosa, don't say that you lost that job due to negotiations😭
I rejected an offer after they offered way less than what I had asked for. I wish I knew these techniques before negotiating. Very well explained!
Never too late to learn something new. You got this Swapnil!
This was the most helpful negotiation video I’ve ever come across. Im in the negotiation stage now and will circle back with results. Thanks so much for this I have a ton of confidence now.
Thank you!! And You’ve got this!!!
Thank you so much for your advice. I gained the confidence needed to negotiate my salary after a job offer, although I didn’t accept the job because they didn’t accept my offer. I do feel great because I ASKED. sometimes there will be losses and you have to be grateful. The job just wasn’t for you. The employer wanted to pay me below the average market salary it was very sad.
I took your advice and got an increased of 15% on top of their offer. Thank you!
All these many years, I have been looking for these wonderful tips and finally I got. Thanks a ton for this kind of video. Keeping motivating & guiding us.
glad to be of service Atulay!
U speak slow and pleasant which i really love seeing!
So I was able to use this and it helped me a lot!
Please don’t fear to negotiate! Apparently it actually impresses the hiring manager!
Thanks for watching and glad it helped you! What was the % increase you were able to negotiate? It’s love to learn more, please dm me on LinkedIn if ok with you.
i just finished watching this video and this is the first video I see where a woman is talking on the subject of salary negotiation, which I appreciate because sometimes we need to hear it from each other that women are allowed to ask for what we deserve and not let FEAR get in the way. i just want to say thank you for making this video I feel so much more informed and confident in negotiating salary.
Thanks for watching!! “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”
After watching a lot of mundane videos on this subject I've finally found one that makes sense and has practically valuable content. Thanks Sonal !
Glad to hear it, thanks so much for your feedback!
Practical to tum karoge tab pata chalega, abhi to tumhara theory part hi hua hai
I got an offer during recession / financial crash in 2009... But due to fear I ended up with 20% lesser salary than I expected and asked for... Thank you so much for this video, I won't repeat my mistake after watching this...
I did most of the things mentioned in the video in 2016 at an interview with a publishing giant where I was made to wait for over 2 hours after grueling hours of 4 successive interviews from team manager to CEO (all in the same day). When it came to salary negotiation, I was told to give in to whatever they were offering since it was a "brand" and would go a long way on my CV. While I agreed to that, I just could not do with zero increment on my previous salary despite the organization's name. I was told I'd be contacted but there was no communication from their end. I called a day later and was told that someone else was hired for lesser salary than I was being offered. That was a lone experience, but stands out to the day.
Thanks for sharing, and this tells you SO much more about company culture than asking them about their culture.
Right?
Im sorry this happened. Same thing happened to me 4 times (FOUR!!) where after the verbal offer and immediately after I start the negotiation process they decided to give the offer to someone who decided not to negotiate.
I understand how traumatizing this can be.. I'm a woman in tech and this makes me so traumatized to negotiate ever again. I even brought up how women are often times not paid competitive to their male counterparts in tech and that I'd like to get paid competitively, then had my offer rescinded right away.
@@user-j5ja95 never do that again ,talk about fairness .Don’t bring market research and start comparing bc they will ditch you. Talk about how you deserve that high pay what they get instead .
I always get what I ask bc I don’t ask based on inflation or market research . I ask bc it’s worth it for them to give me , I bring the results on the table .
OP, look back on that as a good thing because what you just described is referred to as the "Imagine the exposure!" element. Highly visible companies will try to use this to keep their salary low when offered. They offer you this pittance, but they play up the "Think of the exposure!" element, and they do that with purpose. Just remember that exposure doesn't pay your bills...money does. Working for a "brand" can certainly have benefits down the road, but you don't want to look down the road...you want to be in the here and now. They offered the role to someone who fell for the "exposure" trick, so consider yourself lucky.
This is how they con people into unpaid internships too. The "exposure" principle. "Influencers" try this trick ALL THE TIME when they solicit brands and companies for free things and then tell them, "Think of the exposure! I have 100K followers on this and 75K on that!" much in the same way that these employers tell us.
You dodged a bullet. Never tell yourself anything different. You lost out on nothing.
If they really wanted you they would either agreed or come back with another amount.
This really helped..For me it was not Last day of the week but last interview..I looked down and thought for a moment as you said, they were all looking at me.First they refused, the second try was successful. I told them I need the amount to manage my conveyance (which was true..try not to lie because if they find out in any way about the truth you can lose the Job) . I was polite the whole time and asked them in a requesting way.
That's beautifully articulated. Specially being Polite and to remember everything is Negotiable. It feels serendipity to have landed in your channel. Thank you for taking out time and explaining things in a beautiful way.
Always be polite
After watching this video, my salary discussion went absolutely the way you said and They offered me 75k sign on bonus and the package I was expecting. Wow it literally worked. Thank you very much Mam
Your tips are so practical and implementable that today I was able to negotiate my offer (which was already accepted by me) and converted my variable pay into fixed pay there by increasing my take home component. All this was possible after watching your video and as you said "Everything is Negotiable in this world" !
Yay! Congrats 🥳
Hi Praveen, Can you explain how u stated the conversation? It will be really helpful for me.
Need help
Thank you very much mam. I have successfully cleared 4 rounds of interview and got the job. Most importantly I was able to negotiate my offer well and your videos certainly helped me. Thanks once again :)
That’s great, congratulations!! Well done!
Girl I cannot explain how helpful your video has been. I have a job interview tomorrow that I happened to be offered and I’m doing as much research as I can to shine in my interview. I just wanted to say THANK YOU and that I will follow your tips. Hopefully I get that dream bump salary that I deserve right now.
Yay! So glad it’s helpful!!! And good luck!
Just wanted Thank you for this content. Finalized my offer letter after negotiation using this info today. I just realized a very powerful thing today - if you don't ask, you wont get :)
I asked a figure, company offered 15% lesser, I was respectful and calm and politely declined the offer and told that I accept the mid point of the range I have quoted :)
Company came back within a day with a new offer.
Yaaas. Congrats!! Good for you. What was the % increase you for finally?
@@SuperChargeYourself I got a 10% increase in salary from what they initially offered and 20% increase in Equity :)
Thank you so much for the great tips you shared. I used them exactly as directed by you and bagged an offer of my desired salary. You surely are a rockstar.
I came in with a lot of prejudice before starting the video and half way into it I realized that this is some crucial information. I have been a professional for a while but I have never been able to understand how to navigate the negotiations but this video provides a deeper technical aspect to the understanding that is required before going into salary negotiations. A must watch for anyone approaching a new opportunity. Thank you Sonal
So glad you overcame those prejudices (it’s ok, we all have them!) and watched! And I’m happy this was helpful. Wish you the best!!!
I'll openly admit, I don't have so much experience to say all this is necessarily true. But what I definitely can say is that this video puts you into a right mindset to approach a business situation. And that in itself is very useful and can only be viewed positively by any interviewer
Thank you for your feedback, glad the video is useful. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and share!
Thanks for this video Sonal. I have been out in the job market after 9 years in the same company I had joined as a fresher. I saw this video after I accepted my first offer. It's almost 3 times my current salary and I was overwhelmed at first. Then I realised just how less I was actually making. Currently in negotiations with a second company, followed your tips throughout the process. They have effectively removed the personal component from the process, by making candidates create a profile on their portal and giving offer letters through that portal itself. My only contact is the 3rd party recruiter who was hired by the company to find a candidate. Still holding hope, since I am employing your tips of acting as if he is on my team.
Wish you the very best, and thanks for sharing and watching this video.
To give you an idea of how much you’ve just helped me: I’m only 22 years old and I’ve just been offered the dream job I’ve wanted for 5 YEARS! They’ve expressed high interest in me and aren’t even making me interview for it, but now I’m at a point of trying to leverage the confidence they have in me to get a salary I deserve. I’ve NEVER done this before and I’m so so grateful for these tips. I realized after you said it that I don’t even have to negotiate for salary alone! I can ask for more vacation days, a bonus, etc. I feel ready to go into that negotiation! If I could thank you in person I would 🙏 thank you!
Wow!! That’s amazing! Well done Sam!! Brava!!
Update on how it went?
Give us an update how it went
She showed her boobs at the interview in order to get the salary she wanted, got decline but then approached by brazzer
I had viewed this video previously but it came to use recently when i got a job offer. I used a lot of the techniques. It didnt change the course much as they mentioned they are giving the best they can already and put a final word on it. Yet i was amazed at the power that came with this video viewing. I asked for things that i wud have never imagined and got the confidence to push. The conversations helped me understand a lot about the company which wouldnt be known in a regular interview. Hence, i also recommend using these - sometimes the benefits could be quantitative sometimes qualitative
This content is a gem. I'm pretty sure that this is going to help millions of job seekers out there. Thanks a bunch for coming up with this video in a more curated manner :)
Looking up to you for more such helpful videos !
thanks for watching and for your kind words Ratna! Glad it was useful!
It is going to help me a lot. Thank you for this vedio.
What if there is no job titles that matches in my area?
First question my Hiring HR asked was do I have another offer 😂
Hi, I just want to thank you for giving me the encouragement to negotiate for a higher salary. I was scared to ask, but I did it and it worked. Plus, my employer told me that my negotiation was good and appreciated because it showed my skills for the job!
I enjoy the part you talked about mindset and imagining the interviewer is on the same team. It really goes into the root of the problem and decide my actions. Thank you very much for your video.
Great video! It is so important to keep pushing for higher salaries, especially if financial independence is the goal.
I have only had one company rescind a job offer, and it was after a month of back and fourth regarding intellectual property rights. HR team wanted to allow me to amend my contract to identify previous inventions as my ip, while the contract stated that everything I had worked on prior and during employment is their intellectual property. I even knew the CEO as I was in a joint discord group with him, and we'd speak often. When it got sent to their lawyer, they took personal offense and refused to make any changes, which forced them to rescind the offer.
In hindsight, this even being a problem was kind of insane, likely very uncommon situation.
I am not sure ,how TH-cam suggested me to watch this video without me even searching for this content in youtube. But I was looking for some content like this currently since I have two offers with me.
The content of the video is just wow💯💯💯
Coming to the way you have explained,I just love it. Your accent , the content of the video, really matches with the real life thing and yeah , thanks much for a wonderful content :). I am confident enough now on my negotiation. Will surely comment/ let u know if my negotiation becomes successful. 😊
Wish you success! Glad this was useful!
Hi Bro.....its simple.....chances are that you would have shared your resume few weeks back using your gmail id......if it is so, Google guys are very smart......such vides will be suggested assuming that by now you would stand the offer.....
This is my experience as well.. This video got suggested today and this is one of the best videos I have watched related to this subject.....Keep up the good work Sonalji......
i told the company from where i got the offer letter and with respect to expenses at the location ,the salary was bit lower .upon asking they simply said no and said it can;t be changed and revoked the offer.
Beware of loud music at 0:36
Last week when I interviewed for this company through a consultancy the salary I was offered was less than what I was making at my previous job. And when I couldn't agree and asked for a salary that I should be getting, I was told I have high expectations and I wasn't considered for the job. I have another interview tomorrow and watching this video has boosted my confidence. Hope things go well ♥
All the best to you Safina!
Do you know more about why they pulled the offer?
The one that pulled the offer were the one punching above their weight and wanted you to buckle down...so cheapskate HR personnel probably (no generalization)
There's nothing wrong with "high expectations" unless you can't justify those high expectations. Saying that you "deserve" more and then you're unable to justify WHY is a death knell. When I have been told that I have high expectations, I always hit them back with, "Which is line with the high expectations that you have for me and other candidates, so we seem to be on an even keel at that point, yes?" The gobsmacked look on their faces was worth every moment.
Only bear high expectations if you can justify them. If you simply say that you deserve it, that's not going to get you very far and is almost certainly going to see your resume get binned right after you walk out of the interview.
Wow, I nearly fell off my chair... Your voice has such a low volume in this video that I turned up my headphone. Then your intro music came - BAM! Much too loud! Please consider adjusting the volume for upcoming videos.

Thanks for watching
I have to say that here in Slovenia, a lot of times it is perceived that you are too focused on money or they remove offer if you try to negotiate. It depends a lot on country I would say. But still it is possible and the more we will do it, the more it will become a standard.
Thanks for sharing! Indeed, there’s a lot that depends on cultural differences… Having said that, a lot depends on ‘how’ one negotiates more than ‘what’ one talks about during that time.
Thank you so much - I was in a dilemma. Lo and Behold - I found this video. Bless you for keeping it short, simple and pleasant to follow.

Thanks so much for your video! It helped me so much. The employer I was interviewing with was doing the negotiation with me via email and I was hesitant that it would affect my results. But using your tips, I was able to secure the job and get a 22% increase in my salary, most of the increase was from negotiations.
Yesssss!!! Congrats ! You deserve it
Email negotiations would be so much easier. Good for you.
Watched a few videos and yours was by far the best. Used your advice to get a better offer that worked out to a 33% increase from my old role.
Yay! Congrats Jacob! Connect with me on LinkedIn, I’d love to learn how you did applied it!
Very informative and a must watch video for those who works really hard with honesty but then ended up settling for less :-(
I’ll admit that I am also on of them. Thank you Sonal for being so thoughtful in sharing the contents!!!!
We’ve all been there TJ. Wish you the best and thanks for watching!
I just had my 8th round with a MD. He asked me what is the my expectations and told him I saw this salary range on Glassdoor for the same position for the same company. He became furious saying this is way above the expectations and that data is all wrong since all data is kept confidential. He became more rude even when I said that we can further discuss on this and I am willing to negotiate. But he said it's difficult, that they will call me back.
This was all very heartbreaking as this was the 8 round and I was not prepared for salary negotiations at this point, as I was under the impression that would be the last step with the HR. And before this all my 7 rounds were spot on.
💔
That’s unfortunate Swapnil, I’m sorry you had to go through this. Perhaps it could be a blessing in disguise.
That reaction does seem quite extreme.
Makes one question if it’s worth workihn there, if you’ve already got a taste of the workplace culture. At this stage it’s when companies are at their best.
Wish you luck.
Its very pathetic, and 8th round?!!!
Any interview hardly goes over 4th round. I think the company is not serious about hiring any candidate. Dont lose your hope you will surely get a deserving CTC in other company who values candidates.
8 rounds just curious to know what industry are you in...

Hmm...good luck mate
Thanks a lot Sonal! You are amazing and you are the best! I learned a lot from your videos and it helped me with a big hike. Even though I had to tell a number from my end as HR was not giving a number or range after I tried every which way. But I shared lot of justification using your tips and then a number and a week later got an offer 50% more than I expected :)
Congrats Amit! Well done 👍🏼
Today I have a meeting scheduled for this thing. I was searching for something that could help me with this and found a gem of a video. Thanks for amazing content
Good luck!!!
I tried your suggestion and stuck to the basic hike I would need from the HR. HR called me and said they cannot increase further (well, I had asked for a fair hike), and said they will look for another candidate. So now you have one case where HR took back the offer.This was with Standard Chartered bank, Bangalore.
I liked the video and it makes sense!
Kat gaya 😂😂
Any tips for an engineering internship position?
My leverage would be I have more experience than the average student by their 3rd year. They’re tried to ask me what I expect twice already before the interview, and I deferred it each time saying my primary focus is on the job, interview, and learning more about the team/role. So I anticipate a negotiation process where they will ask again but now in a face to face zoom setting instead of through email. Great video thank you
Hey there! The tips and strategies work across industries and functions.
Good you’re thinking about what sets you apart from the others.
Watch the video on answering the question on salary expectations.
Good luck!
This video is perfection. Thank you for breaking down such a touchy portion of the hiring process so transparently and elegantly. By far the most valuable video and advice I have received.
Joelle hi, so glad you found the video useful! The idea is precisely to dispel long held myths and help those who need it. Thank you for taking the time to comment here!
No words , without this video not possible to increase CTC . After 1 week wait they offered expected ammount . And before watching this video I fear to negotiate. Thank you and God bless you.
Thank you so much Sonal for the tips. I always had the fear factor in me and that's the reason I never negotiated even when I felt like doing so. But this video gave me the courage and sense of approval that I actually needed to start negotiating on things that really could not get along with me in my company. Thanks again , I just loved it !
Glad to hear it’s helpful, thanks for watching Beryl!
Thank you! I watched this video then applied the techniques for my current job offer. Totally fighting the feeling that I’ve shot myself in the foot, negotiations feel so uncomfortable, staring fear in the face
You’ve got this Caiti. Like with everything, practise equals progress!
@@SuperChargeYourself heard back and they came with an offer higher than I thought they would. Success!!! Thank you
Woohoo 🙌🏼
Well done Caiti! Don’t know you but am so proud of you!!!!
Thank you sooooo much for this video. It was very detailed and straight to the point. You instilled so much confidence in me. I got a verbal offer and saw this afterwards. The timing of me finding this was timing. I followed you strategy as laid out in the role play and prepared my value statement. I used the MAN to determine my ask. And to my surprise, the negotiation went so smooth and I got the exact addition that I asked for. Thank you soo much. Really grateful and appreciative of this your video. May God reward you abundantly!!! This was my first time negotiating and I won't hesitate to do so again in the future.
Yay!!! So happy for you, congrats 👏🏼
I once tried to negotiate, I was shouted at by the HR. She literally went top of her lungs. I wanted to leave the current organization so I went with the flow.
Before any interview, I negotiate with God and he gave me much more than i desire / deserve ; Philosophy apart , the video gives wonderful tips for candidates; I like the way it is presented with charming face ;
Thanks for watching
When I tried to negotiate with my HR, he flatly told they're offering x ctc and if I dont agree then to drop this candidature...! Why does this happen and how do you negotiate in this scenario when they're direct and clear
it's either because
a) the culture is top-down and one does what one is told
b) they genuinely don't have the budget
No right answer: you should do what feels right.
Aisa hi hota hai niharika, ye madam to pata nahi koi ceo post ke negotiation ke fande de rahi hai, baki to india me bahut bheed padi hai candidates ki, sab jagah bulk hiring chlti hai, aao to welcome jaao to bheed kam wala scene hai, companies ko konsa apne ko nasa ka rocket banwana hai jo apn nahi join karenge to company band ho jaayegi
Agree with @SuperCharge
What is the industry and the job role you are trying for?
If you are in the industry for more than 3 years and still facing this, I would suggest:
1) It's okay to look at other industries or job roles
2) If you don't change the game today, you'll have the same problem 5 years later, only it would feel 10x harder to change than it is today
@@adviksingh1133 haha true brother in Indian IT companies For mass hiring it's not going to work.
Hey thanks took this risk and it paid off , such a nice way to understand recruiter’s psychy
Appreciated!
Thank you so much for your tips. I was able to successfully negotiate my salary towards my MAN and also get a joining bonus. As you said, it was a bit theatrical. The recruiter asked for additional time to consult with the management, and I managed to close the deal on a Thursday :)
This is great, congrats! Reach out to me linkedin, I’d love to learn more how this worked out
Well explained. Found a good channel where I can learn a lot of good things. Looking forward for more videos :)
That’s great, happy to have you!

This is amazing. I not only like the content but also how calming, confident coach you are.
So glad you found the video helpful Anagha! Thank you and wish you lots of success at the negotiation this week!
Good! Next time, do this over the phone or zoom. More efficacy. I hope you get what you’re looking for.
@@SuperChargeYourself Got what I asked for within 24hrs. Thank you thank you again! Now on to the next steps 🙂👍🏼
@@justdoit23068 well done!!!! Congrats!
This video is gem❤ In a recent negotiation, I faced a recruiter who seemed very determined on getting me onboarded for a package which was 5K Euros less than my MAN (Minimum Acceptance Number) in Germany. At first, she did not seem to be in the same team because I heard "Sorry, this is not possible" and other upfront decline to my polite attempt to negotiate at least 10 times, which was a little frustrating. But after the final negotiations, the Hiring Manager surprised me by adding a couple thousand euros to the annual compensation package that was agreed upon. It is tough to negotiate with some recruiters, but as you said, sticking to your ground makes every tough conversation worth it.
11:15 is absolutely true, also be objective in your research and arguments. know your value from multiple sources.
Thanks for sharing Rich!
Yes, always be polite. Even if you don't accept the offer, you may deal with the person again down the road. I've had recruiters call me a few months later for other, higher compensated positions.
The biggest thing to remember about salary is that is what will be your base for years to come, unless things change (education or experience, for example).
Lets say that you accept an offer for $50k/year. If we assume a 5% per year pay raise, Starting year 4 you will be at $57,881/year.
But if you push for 10% more up front, or $55k/year then starting year 4 you will be at $63,669/year.
In year 4 you decide to get a new job. Your base salary expectation (current plus 10%) would be $70k/year (if you start the first job at $55k/year) or $63.7k/year (if you started first job at $50k/year).
I find it baffling how many people don't negotiate pay, whether it's your initial offer or an offered pay raise.
Even getting 5% more at start is like getting a pay raise, before you start working.
They don't realize that pay raises are an offer that you either accept or don't accept. Pay raises are compounded interest. Every dollar more now means many more dollars down the road.
Always counter offer pay raises! You will either get an amount more acceptable to you or know its time to look for a new job.
Remember that you are THE salesperson for you. You, your skills, and experience are on the market. Fight for what you are worth!
While it's true that other compensation can help "bridge the gap", they never fully replace salary because you salary increases with compounded interest.
Sure a $2000 sign on bonus and $3000 moving allowance "bridges the gap" between a $50k/year and $55k/year salary, starting year 2 and onwards you will be behind. Plus a moving allowence isn't compensation.
If a company offers to pay your share of medical insurance, I would count that as salary, assuming that it's for as long as you work for the company and the policy doesn't increase and the deductible doesn't go up. If your share would be $250/month that equates to $3,000/year. Plus you might not pay income taxes on that amount. It's likely that your share would go up by 10% or more a year. This us probably better than your salary pay raise.
If the company has matching 401k, then a bigger salary means a higher match. If the company matches 5%, at $50k/year that is $2500 vs $2750 with $55k/year.
I've seen companies offer different tiers on their 401k programs. This could be a higher match at higher salary tiers or less vesting time at higher salary tiers.
What salary you accept has a huge impact on you compensation many years down the road. I've even heard of people being promoted because their salary increased above the maximum allowed for their job title. One person told me that their annual salary increase that they negotiated caused such a promotion. Their new job title's minimum pay was about $2k/year more than they negotiated their pay raise at. In effect they got a double pay raise.
As a real life example. I had several years of medical issues that prevented me from working. When I was able to work I found myself in a horrible situation. I was not in my field for over 3 years, which meant that I couldn't get hired for a job equivalent to my 15+ years of experience. Nor could I get a job in a starter position because I was "over-qualified". No one would hire me in my field using one or both reasons. I even had responses of "over-qualified" for a mid-range position and "out of the market too long".
My wife convinced me to work in her field. At least my years of supervisory experience allowed me to start as a supervisor.
I quickly received promotions, finally getting a location manager position, the same level as my wife.
When my wife was hired by the company as a location manager she accepted their offer and always accepted the pay raise offers.
I fought for a higher starting salary and my pay raises. After 5 years my salary exceeded hers even though she had over 12 years more experience than I did and her location had significantly more sales.
That's how important your initial salary and pay raises are.
======================== part 3 =========================
I had a period of time where I explained to my new job that my job was to make the company more profitable ( or excel at supporting my customers if I had an inside support role. I defined my customers as the employees of the company. In other words, making the other employees more profitable.) In exchange I expected frequent pay raises.
6 months after being hired I would request a reasonable pay raise, usually in the 5-10% range. Some companies gave me the pay raise, others didn't. If I didn't get my pay raise I would look for new employment with a pay raise of over 10%.
For one company, when I requested my 6 month pay raise, they gave the standard "we do annual pay raises". A couple of weeks later, after I gave my 2 week notice a senior manager drove 150 miles to take me to lunch.
They wanted to know why I was leaving and if the company was not treating me well. I said "The company is great. You treat me well. This issue is salary compensation. I asked for a pay raise and was denied. Another company offered me a job with an 18% raise."
The next day the manager drove down and offered me a 23% pay raise and a large moving allowance as they wanted me to move 150 miles to work directly for that field office. Plus I got 4 weeks of paid leave in order to have time to pack up, move and find a new house.
What was amazing was that my original offer that I negotiated had a $3500 moving allowance that specifically said a maximum of 1 moving allowance every 2 years. Yet 7 months later I was given $5000 to move, plus up to 1 week hotel while looking for a house to rent.
If you are a valuable employee, then demand a reasonable compensation
Wow. While I 100% agree with you, I also want to applaud your time and energy to share this here.
I saw this video a week ago and then went for an interview. Followed your tips, demanded the salary I thought I deserve (highest ofcourse) and got the job. THANK YOU for boosting my confidence.
That’s fantastic. Thank you for sharing Noor and congrats!!
Hi... I am going for the final interview.. With salary negotiation as well.. I hope this video will be helpful for me
I hope so too! Wish you lots of success!
Phir kya hua final round me, log you tube pe wapas aake bataate nahi hai
I once asked a panel speaker at a talk (who was also the CEO of a company) when is the appropriate time to negotiate salary in the recruitment process and he responded saying any candidate that brings it up is a turn-off for him! Should have known that is far from that truth and just speaks volumes of how he runs his organization. Thank you so much for your wise words in the video ma'am :)
Thanks for sharing, glad you found it useful!
Hello Ma'am,
Just wanted to convey my gratitude to you that because of this video I was able to increase my CTC 40% more than I was getting.
Thanks you 😊
Congrats! Well done!
All the HRs watching this video be like "Oh! That's how you gonna play me huh !"
Yea I was thinking of this 🤣
😂
😂😂
😄😄😄
😂😂😂😂
Hi, Thanks for sharing the tips. I have few questions:
1) If I got one job offer and I resigned from my current company. While serving notice period, I am getting calls for job opportunities in other companies.
a)HR asks if I have any offer, in that case should I mention yes?
b) If HR further asks about company name and CTC for the offer then is it fine to reveal those details or how to avoid it?
2) Generally for job opportunities before scheduling interview, HR calls to get details about my experience, notice period, current and expected CTC. Should I reveal my current CTC before interview and mention expected CTC based on market value?
Thanks
Good question
Really insightful....shall surely put them to use for my next negotiation...thanx a ton Sonal
Good luck Rahul!
Absolutely everything is negotiable thank you so much
Yes!! You’re welcome!
I'm just awestruck and amazed by the way, you've communicated the entire process here with precision. Thank you 😊!!!
Well explained mam and found a gud teacher.....
Glad to hear it’s helpful 😃
Completely agreed!
I got an 65% hike.. just used your tips for salary negotiation.. very happy thank you so much ma'am ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very helpful tips mam. Its all mind game and self confidence. I just accepted an offer 1 month ago. It is my first job change after 7 years and my confidence was little low. However I got a 70% hike when I was expecting 50%. I tried negotiating to 100% but could not pressure my demand fearing to loose this offer 😝
Thanks for the question. I’m afraid I’m getting a lot of questions and due to lack of time can’t answer all of them individually.
You have two options: either ask me during me weekly live on LinkedIn and TH-cam (every Friday at 6:30 pm India) .. or join the supercharge club. Details are on my website.
All the best
Thank you so much for your tips. I used them in my interview. Not only did I get a higher salary, I also got a sign-on bonus! It was my first time to ever negotiate a salary. Your advice got me what I wanted & it’s been a month in my new role ☺️☺️☺️
Yay! Congrats and all the best!!! Well done!
Magnificent way to explain it. Never came up with this idea of negotiations. Thank you so much for giving us tips😁😁👍
Glad it was useful, thank you Badal!
For quite some time TH-cam is suggesting this video to me. Don't know how it knows that I am planning to switch.
I just loved the way you explained. I never thought negotiating specially on salary is good but the way you explained, I can say just wow.
I have been in this industry for 19 years and changed my job once around 17 years ago. Thinking of changing now. The tips are really useful.
I just want to say everyone would love to have the communication skill like you.
People will definitely like listening you.
Glad you finally managed to watch, thanks for sharing!
Excellent video. Well crafted with so many valuable points. Only thing I would add: If you are in the United States, ~40 states have passed state laws making it illegal for prospective employers to ask about your salary history during the interview process. The very goal was to promote equal pay among the workforce for the same or comparable jobs. If your state has passed such law making it illegal, you absolutely have the right to refuse to disclose your current salary. Otherwise, your prospective employer will simply give you a structure or multiplier based off your current salary, and then it will become 100x more difficult to negotiate. (ie. if you make 50K, they will give a firm number of 60K, and justify that you are making 20% more)
Very much agree, thanks for sharing and glad the video is helpful.
You've kept it simple, short and so easy. Thank you so much...
So glad you enjoyed it Richa! Thanks for sharing.
Great ma'am. Very essential thing have discussed in a simplified manner.
Glad you enjoyed the video, Alka!
You are one of the most underrated career TH-camrs here. You are a hidden gem. I am taking notes from this video because tomorrow will be my job offer and I want to get as high a salary as possible since I know I'm worth every dollar. More power to your channel.
Hi Sonal! I just had my job offer and I tried your tips! It is my first time actually! And got my previous salary almost doubled! Thank you!!! More power to you!!!
That’s wonderful, congrats 🥳
